Perhaps the most surprising title announced at last year's PlayStation Experience was Knack 2. After the lackluster reception of its predecessor, the fact that the name would ever be invoked again, much less in the context of "and here's a sequel to it," was something very few saw coming. A recent Polygon interview, though, has shed a little light on what happened, and how they've worked to make Knack 2 better in every way.
It's been out for a year on PC and now Byte4Games' colorful twin-stick shooter, Demon's Crystals, is coming to consoles. The game will be arriving on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 this Friday, May 12.
The HyperX Pulsefire FPS Mouse delivers on its promise for a smooth, responsive, and comfortable gaming experience. Although some improvements could be made to put its plug-and-play functionality more on par with customization software-driven mice, the Pulsefire is still able to stand out in the flooded market of gaming mice with its strong design for a reasonable price.
There's a new zombie beat-em-up on the block, and it's going by the name of Bloody Zombies. I hear it's pretty tough, too. It's always wearing one of those VR headsets, so you can never tell what it's thinking.
One of my favorite indie games of all-time is Studio Pixel's Cave Story. The title has made its way onto a variety of platforms since its initial PC release in 2004, with various tweaks and improvements, but the forthcoming Cave Story+ (Plus) on the Nintendo Switch will get the greatest feature of all: local co-op.
Rebellion is bringing their blue soldier back in Rogue Trooper Redux sometime "soon," though there isn't too much to go on at this point other than the fact that it's a remastered version of the original. If you missed out on that 2006 title, then enjoy this new video that lets you know just who (or, rather, what) is Rog...
As we talked about a couple weeks ago, Ronimo Games' Awesomenauts is going free-to-play on May 24. If you purchased the game previously (or anytime in the past couple of weeks), then you've already got access to the current beta. If you haven't, then good news! We've got 12 beta keys to giveaway!
Alas, it looks like we have quite the waiting period for Overkill's The Walking Dead FPS. According to a recent press release (which your intrepid staff painstakingly translated from Swedish to English with the help of Google), the game's release window has been shoved ever so slightly to the back half of 2018.
It’s hard to believe it, but May is already here. Summer will soon be upon us, which usually brings a bevy a MMO content updates and expansion announcements. Until then, we’ll have to sustain ourselves on on some hints and teases of what’s to come in the summer and fall....
Fans of DOTA 2, but not all that intense PvP action, will have an opportunity this summer to play a different kind of DOTA. Anyone who buys the "The International 2017 Battle Pass," an annual item that not only adds to the reward money on the line at the big event but also provides in-game rewards to players, will get access to the new co-op campaign called "Siltbreaker."
No one game is dominating proceedings this weekend, though Nioh is certainly trying its hardest, but variety is the spice of life, yeah? At least, I'm assuming it is. To be honest with you, I don't think I've ever really thought about it.
Holosparks' cooperative FPS, Earthfall, is now available on the PC via Steam Early Access. The title draws inspiration from similar titles, like Left 4 Dead, but swaps out zombies for some horrifying monsters from the stars beyond.
